TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the synthesis techniques most commonly used to produce these graphene derivatives, discuss how synthesis affects their key material properties, and highlight some examples of nanocomposites with unique and impressive properties.

TL;DR: This work develops analogous deformation-controlled surface-engineering approaches via strain-dependent cracks and folds to realize the following four mechanochromic devices: transparency change Mechanochromism (TCM), luminescent mechanochROMism (LM), colour alteration mechanochromaism (CAM) and (4) encryption mechanochromeism (EM).

TL;DR: This work provides design principles and a universal strategy to construct metal-free room temperature phosphorescence materials with ultralong lifetime, high phosphorescence quantum efficiency, and high stability for promising applications, especially under harsh conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the functionalizing strategies of intercalation, surface modification, hybridization, layered compositions regulation, size and morphology control, and defect creation for two-dimensional layered double hydroxides.

TL;DR: Three types of moisture-responsive wrinkle dynamics are achieved, for the first time, through a single film-substrate system, and the key to success is to control the stiffness and thickness ratios of the film and the substrate.
